Chuck E.’s In Love
Posted on June 30th, 2010 by Gavin M.
“Who ate all the ham?”
Eerie Von Erickson,1 RedState:
Chuck Efstration: A Personal Favor
- My endorsement is a rare thing for friends to get that run for office, but my friend Blarf Defenestruction is a candidate worthy of RedState.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
* Title cf.
1 Cf.
Eh? Chuck Defenestration? He’s got my vote!
It’s “a personal favor?” Then the answer is “fuck off, fat boy.”
Alternative longer shorter:
I’m a political whore, but occasionally I give a free hummer. Only to people I would normally whore, though, in case you lot think I’m some sort of unprincipled whore. So let this free hummer be judged on its merits.
How come he don’t come, with the Tea Party with me yelling at the clouds no more?
How come he turn on the teevee and tune to lie-beral CNN when we know they just want to destroy (America)?
We call and we call “How come?” we say, what could make a boy behave this way?
He learn all of the lines, and every time he don’t stutter when he talk
And it’s true! It’s true! For a Red Stater that’s such a rare thing so don’t balk.
Where’s his jacket and his old blue jeans? If this ain’t healthy is it some kinda clean?
Chuck E’s in love x3
Chuck E’s in love with the little girl who’s sing this song,
Chuck E’s in love with Eric E.
Chuck’s a pretty standard issue wingnut as far as I can see.
NO EARMARKS!*
* – please reserve some federal dollars for more roads in Atlanta pls k thx, totally different from earmarks because SHUT UP
Gridlock is strangling the economic development of metro Atlanta.
But…but…libertarian theory says that people will choose what they want and capitalists will spring up like mushrooms to service their needs. (Ew. I just squicked myself.) Oh wait, no transportation system anywhere can be run for a profit if it has to pay for all costs? Then GIMME GIMME GIMME!
From the comments:
If Redstate was a bunch of milquetoast lolligagging mealymouths it wouldn’t be very effective.
Heh. Indeed.
Alliteration fail, also.
a bunch of milquetoast lolligagging mealymouths
Candy, breakfast, and horse slash fic?
I love that “Blarf on Golf” guy!
“Not that I intended to, but I have become known as the guy who keeps our side in line.”
Erick Erickson, kingmaker of the conservative movement. Just ask him.
What I want to know is this: Why is Red State supporting Islamofascisterrorism by running a banner ad for Daily Events that features a chick wearing a keffiyeh? Have we learned nothing from Rachel Ray and Dunkin’ Donuts?
Why is Red State supporting Islamofascisterrorism by running a banner ad for Daily Events that features a chick wearing a keffiyeh?
Just a keffiyeh? There’s a way to get more click-throughs.
Why look, the Internet is in need of repair!
My work here is done. Up, up and away!
Teh Pride of CNN.

Nobody goes there any more because it’s too crowded.
When I hear Macon called the ‘heart of Georgia’ I always think they’ve got the wrong organ.
E son of E looks like a young Baron Harkonnen…

Testicle?
One of the toughest things about my job is that it is very hard to make and keep friends in the political arena….
Most of my friends running for office don’t rise to the level of a RedState caliber candidate.
I’m shocked that he can’t keep friends that meet his stratospheric standards.
Lolligagging? Do there pedophiliac phantasies know no bounds?
Oh, Gavin. Does your knowledge of all things punk and post-punk know no bounds?
know no bounds?
Well, that’s weird.
Uh, I meant “they’re”.
Well, that’s weird.
I blame your mom and the things she does with her no-no bonds.
I blame your mom and the things she does with her no-no bonds.
Well, your mom uses Gold Bond Medicated Body Powder!
That’s right, I said it.
spleen, I think
I can’t believe that we’re making fun of a guy named Chuck Efstration by calling him Chuck E.
Efstration – n. the state of being cock-blocked.
Media Matters claims it’s hard to take Nordlinger seriously. I’m pretty sure Boehlert’s being tongue-in-cheek, here.
Also, too, projection FTW!
Evidently Erick still thinks that if you link to the same site repeatedly, search engines will like it better.
Erk needs a sammich.
And:
“Not that I intended to, but I have become known as the guy who keeps our side in line.”
Feel the wrath of the Red-Faced Trike Force!
Oooooohhh.
The leader of the premier right wing blog makes a personal front page entreaty to his minions to support a conservative candidate and gets 4 comments from 3 people.
Oh he’s a kingmaker all right. Didn’t Redstate used to make a lot of noise about Kos supporting a bunch of primary candidates in 2004 who lost? Kos can post a picture of himself reading microwave instructions under the title “Don’t read this boring post” and get more interest from his readers.
Most of my friends running for office don’t rise to the level of a RedState caliber candidate.
I have a doctor’s note saying I’m clinically insane. Does that earn me the title of RedState caliber candidate?
Well, your mom uses Gold Bond Medicated Body Powder!
Whoa–now that’s below the belt, missy.
If you’re anti-choice and have nice legs, it means you should be fuckin’ president.
I have a doctor’s note saying I’m clinically insane. Does that earn me the title of RedState caliber candidate?
No. But you get your own tricycle and cape.
Feel the wrath of the Red-Faced Trike Force!
all us fat bastards yell at computer! you will be sorry you tired to think about stuff asshole!
<i.Whoa–now that’s below the belt, missy.
Yes, that’s where she uses it…
Goddamn motherfucking fucking tags always ruining shit.
If you’re anti-choice and have nice legs, it means you should be fuckin’ president.
Really? I got nice legs! Being a male, it’s easy for me to shoot my mouth off about womens’ bodies. I’m so running.
No. But you get your own tricycle and cape.
(Screams like a girl) YES!
Yes, that’s where she uses it…
And she follows with a kick to the groin…Somebody needs to switch to decaf.
Somebody needs to switch to decaf.
Me?
You know, you’re the second person in about a week who has said that to me.
(Screams like a girl) YES!
But there are further tests of Red-Facedness before you get your mask, goggles and special handlebar bell.
My stump speech outline:
1) Scare the holy hell out of everyone by saying Obama is just like that movie guy with the knives for fingers who kills you when you sleep–I think his name was Hitler or Stalin.
2) Promise to cut all taxes to zero (for white people) and promise to never spend a penny of tax dollars that aren’t being collected and go to war with Iran.
3) Bemoan the immorality of our society with the gays and the rap music and kids wearing their pants too low and that shady kid that standing on my lawn. Also those kids down the street who are too loud when they play kickball on my part of the street. Getting rid of these people is freedom.
4) Did I mention that Obama is a demon who wants to rape your butt?
5) Show ’em your teef. Count em–9. Promise to make it through a 2 year congressional term with at least 7 of those.
6) Reid and Pelosi, those speaker people, are also demons.
7) Health care is theft. If a
nigif someone else gets it, I must be the one paying for it and I don’t want my mom in front of a death panel. Let nature take its course for the poor. Thats freedom.That oughta just about do it. Thoughts?
motherfucking fucking
If people stopped fucking motherfuckers, they might calm down and stop the mother fucking.
You know, you’re the second person in about a week who has said that to me.
We’re totally not conspiring against you. Don’t let that thought in your head.
“That oughta just about do it. Thoughts?”
You left out the part about rape and incest being God’s will.
If people stopped fucking motherfuckers, they might calm down and stop the mother fucking.
I’m sick of these motherfucking fuckers on my motherfucking plane!
We’re totally not conspiring against you. Don’t let that thought in your head.
Gee, thanks.
Don’t let that thought in your head.
Yeah, really, when we talk about you we barely ever bring up the fact you are over-caffeinated. I mean it almost never comes up.
Most of my friends running for office don’t rise to the level of a RedState caliber candidate
It is a wonder that he can’t get any comments on his blog. I mean, who wouldn’t want to hang out with E “I wouldn’t let most of my friends lick my sweaty sack” E?
But this guy! Ball-licker extraordinaire!
Needs more fire and brimstone……..and cowbell.
Yeah, really, when we talk about you we barely ever bring up the fact you are over-caffeinated. I mean it almost never comes up.
Why are you guys so mean to me? You know I like pot because it makes me *less* paranoid, right?
You left out the part about rape and incest being God’s will.
Ah yes–noted. Thank you.
How many mothers would a motherfuck fuck if a motherfucker could fuck mothers?
I have a doctor’s note saying I’m clinically insane.
How can you be sure that’s what it says?

I’m still thinking about nice legs. I confess that’s one feature I really appreciate on a man. Holy crap, I AM a red state voter!

tsam will consent to a physical with anyone with a white coat and a gumball machine stethoscope. You would not believe all the free feels I’ve gotten with that get-up.
tag fail. I blame democrats.
I haven’t been watching too much soccer, but don’t think that went unnoticed by yours truly.
Bemoan the immorality of our society with the gays and the rap music and kids wearing their pants too low and that shady kid that standing on my lawn.
3)a)(corollary): Simultaneously deregulate the airwaves and free them of all obligations so that the diffusion of said culture of gays and rap music and kids wearing their pants too low and standing on your lawn are can proceed apace.
Also dude, “gays” is not the preferred nomenclature. “Proponents of an alternate lifestyle,” please.
I think I actually need *more* coffee this morning.
Sumbitch.
I prefer “sumbastard.”

Senior year in college, breakfast was Jolt cola. Once you got used to the heart palpitations, it works great.

I often have a 20 ounce coffee first thing in the morning, but I just had a short double espresso this morning. NEED MOAR.
I’ll probably go get a Diet Coke in a little bit. Don’t judge.

Can’t. I’m becoming an iced-coffee addict.
“Not that I intended to, but I have become known as the guy who keeps our side in line.”
Erk sez- “Roll up, roll up for the Magical Misery Tour; it’s waiting to take you away…take you away!”
tsam, you could get the “Pants on the Ground” guy to warm up the crowd for you.
Can’t. I’m becoming an iced-coffee addict.
At least that’s made with, like, real stuff. We make our coffee with this thing, which I am told makes excellent iced coffee, as well.
The Ham-Faced Boy:
Buck Frustration:
Uh, yeah, he’s a rebel who’s really stickin’ it to the Man.
excellent iced coffee
That’s an oxymoron.
That’s an oxymoron.
I’d have to respectfully disagree. Have you ever had cold pressed coffee? Deeee-fucking-licious. And very caffeinated.
You get a cape and tricycle AND the mask, goggles and special handlebar bell.
I was hoping for a couple wetsuits and a box of dildos.
I’d have to respectfully disagree.
I’ll agree to that. Cold coffee in any form sucks.
E son of E looks like a young Baron Harkonnen…
You are fortunate that you were not on Giedi Prime when you made that slanderous remark.
Sure our bloodline consists of murderers and psychopaths, We do have some standards, though.
I was hoping for a couple wetsuits and a box of dildos.
That’s the next level. Much harder. After that, candidate endorsement. Ya gotta go through all the steps, tho.
I’ll agree to that. Cold coffee in any form sucks.
Cold press is super-smooth and not bitter, but still retains the basic flavor of the coffee. It’s also expensive as shit, though.
Chuck E. Festration: The ill-conceived branching out of the Chuck E Cheese franchise into neurotoxins.

Shit, you don’t even need the costume to get a feel offa me. Leather and a riding crop, however, gets my undivided attention and submission for as long as you can handle it.
“Not that I intended to, but I have become known as the guy who keeps our side in line.”
Protip: When you have to inform people how great you are, you aren’t.
Cold is the operative fail word for me, T&U. Couldn’t get me near that shit cold.
Protip: When you have to inform people how great you are, you aren’t.
Or as Vince Lombardi put it to a player celebrating in the end zone after a touchdown: act like you’ve been there before.
Leather and a riding crop, however, gets my undivided attention and submission for as long as you can handle it.
Tsam, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were a bottom.
Protip: When you have to inform people how great you are, you aren’t.
Erk: MLIT
I’ll agree to that. Cold coffee in any form sucks.
I don’t like it either. I drink something like an Americano when I pay too much for coffee. I tried that iced once. YUCK.
YUCK
Haters.

That’s because hot espresso gets fucking disgusting when you put it over ice.

Switch hitter, actually. TYVM.

You will take my coffee ice cream when you pry it from my cold, living fingers.

Haters.
You can have as much ice cold coffee as you wish, won’t bother me at all and I won’t stop you. Ya know, some people like tripe…who am I to stop them?
You’re a zombie?!
Polar bear.
So what if you filter the cold coffee thru Baron Harkonnen’s double wetsuit with built-in dildo after he’s let Irk Irksome run a marathon in it?
Polar bear.
Dude, sorry about your, like, habitat and shit.
I have a doctor’s note saying I’m clinically insane.
How can you be sure that’s what it says?
How can you be sure that was your doctor?
Well, I wasn’t sure when he said he was there to inspect my pipes, but I have to admit he was very thorough.

Th-th-thanks. I th-th-think I’ll have another. It’s hot and I’m thrirst-t-ty.
Sh-sh-sh-akes? Wha-wha-wha-t sh-sh-sh-akes?

Um, you will never be capable of digesting food ever again?
Is it hot?
We’re talking Irky here. So no.

You light everything on fire and stand upwind.
Duh.

For some reason, the idea of it being hot is doubly repulsive to me.
“Ya know, some people like tripe…who am I to stop them?”
Menudo…………its whats for breakfast.
Dude, sorry about your, like, habitat and shit.
I randomly maul people in revenge for the habitat. The shit is no one’s fault, really.

Once I convinced Coke to pay me in product, two problems were solved and I leave the fish alone.
You’re bi?!
No. Just goofing around–at least as far as you know.

Ironically, then, your own methane is causing the destruction of your habitat.
No. Just goofing around–at least as far as you know.
Well, now I’m sad.

Ok.::but white coat nothin’ else and high heels is prolly more my style.
Ok. Last gratuitous flirt o’ the day.

Lol!

Late getting here (as usual–it’s the whole west coast thing), but:
We are a Christian nation AND us Christians are persecuted horribly. (So you can all go to Hell…except Cave 12.)
We are a Christian nation AND us Christians are persecuted horribly.
Perfectly logical if one posits christians persecuting christians.
Looking again at the picture of Erk, he reminds me of a seal begging for food at Fisherman’s Wharf.
N__B, please maul.
“ARP! ARP! ARP”
N__B, please maul.
Speaking as someone who has had his head inside a walrus’s guts, I find that a little on the icky side. But for you, I’ll try.
Thank you.
Aww…I love it when we work together! *sniff*
That’s what you get for working, actor.
Perfectly logical if one posits christians persecuting christians.
Except on National Brotherhood Week.

Well, now I’m sad.

Ok. Last gratuitous flirt o’ the day.
NO FAIR!
*backing out door slowly*
Where the hell do you think you’re going? This could work out for you too.
SOMEbody’s gotta keep the polar bears in line…
I think Irk has already declared himself the arbiter of keeping shit in line. So tell your boss I said you could have the rest of the day off.
Hey I gotta leave you wanting more. 😉
Where the hell do you think you’re going? This could work out for you too.
Well, maybe, but uhhhhhhhhhhhh, I have an appointment. Yea. That’s the ticket!
Yeah! Earache’s got it covered!

We tried that. Pissed the polar bears off. They started doubling down on the Coke.

Unveiled maul-and-dinner scenario.
Does this make anyone else want to go home and open a vein? Or is that just me?
Not really. I find it mildly amusing.
Not really. I find it mildly amusing.
Maybe I’ve spent too much time around children’s librarians, who are, like, offended that I haven’t read Twilight, much of Harry Potter, or the Percy Jackson series.
“Does this make anyone else want to go home and open a vein? Or is that just me?”
The confirmation hearing of Elena Kagan is proving what Elena Kagan said confirmation hearings have become.
(PSSST…here’s a little secret: I hate Harry Potter).
Yeah. You couldn’t pay me to read Twilight. I heard it’s thinly-veiled chastity propaganda.
I hate Harry Potter.
But he worked on the Avengers. And I live the Avengers.
I heard it’s thinly-veiled chastity propaganda.
Oh, it is. It. IS.
I mean, the female character is, like, devoured by her own vampire fetus.
I love it, too.

This is probably as good a time as any to mention that a little __B is expected in October. And your description sounds a lot like what’s going on in my house right now.

You just blew your cover, dude.
This is probably as good a time as any to mention that a little __B is expected in October. And your description sounds a lot like what’s going on in my house right now.
YAY! Congratulations!
Yeah, I don’t want to incubate one of those little fuckers. I don’t do well with nausea or general discomfort.
Good Mormon girls don’t mind being devoured by their fetuses. A woman’s job is to be a vehicle for other human beings. They don’t have minds, wishes and dreams of their own.
This is probably as good a time as any to mention that a little __B is expected in October.
*packing suitcase*
Does this make anyone else want to go home and open a vein? Or is that just me?
It’s a thinly disguised anti-Semitic dig at Kagan. Everyone knows that Jews would side with the bloodsuckers.
At least, that’s what Pat Robertson tells me…
Good Mormon girls don’t mind being devoured by their fetuses. A woman’s job is to be a vehicle for other human beings. They don’t have minds, wishes and dreams of their own.
I just don’t know why this chick can’t get a normal human being to be her boyfriend.
I don’t want to incubate one of those little fuckers. I don’t do well with nausea or general discomfort.
Mrs. __B is a little miniature person. Or to put it another way, by October the vampire fetus and attendant temporary machinery is going to be about 1/6 of her weight.
Cold press coffee is absurdly easy to make at home. Cold press coffee is not necessarily served cold. Fucking heathens – dissing shit you know muffin ’bout.
Don’t MAKE come over there and cut your fingers off.
*packing suitcase*
Well, that was a Diet Coke spit take.
It’s cuz she’s played by Kristen Stewart. And if anyone should have been cast to play the undead…

Yeah, but I didn’t want to confuse them too much.

When she gets further along, you can use it to cast bike helmets, too.

Of course not. Who wants hair in their beer?
Woman must have the patience of a saint.
HAHAHAHEEHEEHEEHOHOHO
Congratulations, Mr. __B, to you and the missus. Don’t let these other fuckers scare you, kids are a bunch of fun. Especially if you roll ’em up into a ball and wrap ’em in plastic…they’re great for soccer, kickball or as a chew toy for the dog. Or have I said too much?
Speaking of babies, and probably not new to many of you, but I found this hilarious.

And don’t forget the great eatin’!
This is probably as good a time as any to mention that a little __B is expected in October. And your description sounds a lot like what’s going on in my house right now.
Wonderful. Just put a lock on the beer cooler. Just sayin’.
Trust me, at the very least, she probably *thinks* she does.
Yes, she does. And I say the elephant is more like a tree.
And don’t forget the great eatin’!
You have to be careful how you cook them, tho. The low fat content and generally small size make timing it difficult.
I find filleting them and then dropping the meat into lemon juice, like in a cerviche, followed by a quick breading and a dip into boiling oil.
Pop the head off and squeeze them from the bottom, like italian ices.
Yes, she does. And I say the elephant is more like a tree.
Mr. T&U thinks I’m impatient. I’m not. I just want what I want when I want it.
Damn, as a baby-eating feminazi, I still find that gross.
I suppose now would be a bad time to link to my new favorite tumblr blog?
Since we’re pointing out goodies, this has kept me entertained for weeks now. For starters, I have learned stuff like ‘SOCMOB’ and ‘some guy’.
SOCMOB=’Standing on a corner minding my own business’ This is usually how the story begins when told to an ER physician.
‘some guy’=in that story, “some guy” always has an important role in bringing about the situation that sends the patient to the ER.
Stuff up the butt? Check.
Things that you cannot imagine happening but do, multiple times? Check.
Worth a visit.
I find filleting them…
Trust Actor to cry “Line? What line?” as he leaps across it.
…and then N__B to top it.
Worth a visit.
I love reading that site. The ER attending who comments on there a lot cracks me up.
…and then N__B to top it.

…and then N__B to top it.
I am not Actor’s bottom.
I want what I want when I want it OH YEAH.
…and then N__B to top it.
With a white wine reduction sauce?
…and a lime-mango chutney.
I am not Actor’s bottom.
Huh. He says you’re his bitch all the time.
Let’s you and him fight.
Methinks that there’s a lot of salad tossing going on around here.
Congrats to the __B’s. I’ve been told that this isn’t a proper time to be wondering aloud about pipe stress and modulus of elasticity, no matter how fascinating the opportunity may seem.
I see that this thread has run its course. Let me know if anyone wants to hear about my Sid Caesar-Imogene Coca skit day yesterday. And I know the reference is alien to the young whippersnappers here (except actor212 and DKW’s mom), but there hasn’t been anything like it on TV since “Your Show of Shows, except maybe Lucy and Ricky. And no, I’m really not that old (58!). I know of these things from reruns and retrospectives.

OT QOTD: David Boies, on the Prop 8 trial. (Boies, along with Ted Olsen, are counsel for plaintiffs) Boies masterfully shredded each of the three witnesses, especially the “star” witness whose testimony will probably be dismissed entirely.
Q: Were you at all disappointed that George Rekers, the anti-gay-marriage “expert” who was recently caught with a male escort from Rentboy.com, wasn’t a defense witness?
A: I would have enjoyed cross-examining him. Let me put it that way.

Wow, long hair and earrings? I honestly can’t imagine a stereotypical gay man liking that. Do these people have a completely different idea of what being gay is? Like, it’s not gay if you have sex with random other men in bathrooms, as long as you have a Gil Thorp-style haircut? Does the obvious gayface not count if they’re butch and pretend they don’t like it up ’em?

Then, just as I was about to reach the driver’s side door, I twisted my ankle.
Dear Q Magazine,
I never thought it could happen to me. Then one stromy night, I drove to a maleshop…
Then, just as I was about to reach the driver’s side door, I twisted my ankle.
Really bad out of tune violins began to play one screeching note as I fumbled for the door handle. Too late, I realized I had locked my keys inside.
The gays came. The stumbled. They shambled. Some even crept along the ground. All of them drooling, drooling, drooling, groping for my feet.
I pulled myself using the doorhandle, and snapped off the car antenna. They’d never take me alive!
What the hell is a “mailshop”?
Row after row of boxes bulging with pro-homosexual petitions
I think “bulging” is an interesting choice of words here, don’t you?

Well, now, that’s just pathetically obvious instead of a little Freudian.
T&U, it’s the subtext. You know what subtext is? It’s what’s left when you take out 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th letters. In that vein, allow me to extrract the subtext:

Why were they groping for your feet? I know I am sometimes euphemistically challenged, but, um, feet?
See, I was thinking that maybe he was a little gay himself, but he has short hair and unpierced ears.
That Delgaudio is fantastic, but for an alternative to huffing a lotta paint, you should read the whole thing.

Why were they groping for your feet?
I dunno, ask Delgaudio.

It’s only because they want you. I feel your pain, dude. I can’t go anywhere without being attacked by teh gays trying to get at my butthole.
Eugene Delgaudio is so obviously completely 110% heterosexual. One wonders why he continues to remind us how not gay he is.
Men in both groups were aroused by about the same degree by the video depicting heterosexual sexual behavior and by the video showing two women engaged in sexual behavior. The only significant difference in degree of arousal between the two groups occurred when they viewed the video depicting male homosexual sex: ‘The homophobic men showed a significant increase in penile circumference to the male homosexual video, but the control [nonhomophobic] men did not.’
I can’t go anywhere without being attacked by teh gays trying to get at my butthole.
So you’re Eugene Delgaudio?
please note that the baby-eating ideas are coming from the commenters who proclaim to be breathers, but are generally the most zombie-oppressive.
In fact, I see a certain resemblance to Republicans who are the most ardent anti-gay bigots….
You will take my coffee ice cream when you pry it from my cold, living fingers.

This was Eugene’s latest email:
I would totally do Meghan.
Wait, there was a study where PENIS tumescence was measured while watching hawt ghey and lesbo pr0ns? Why wasn’t I told?
I think “bulging” is an interesting choice of words here, don’t you?
I’m interested in hearing more about his encounter with mail inserters. Did he also go to the docks for an encounter with seamen?
Actually, as hokey as all the “long hair, pierced ears” jazz was, the “Delgaudio what are you doing here?” was the capper, like they all have posters of him on their walls that they abuse themselves to until they’re sore.
For SCIENCE, of course.

What’s the old Ron White bit about every man being gay?
Yeah, me too. I notice they always go straight from gay rights to things like bestiality and child molestation. Sadly, I think it’s still more projection. They project what they know.

To be fair, d00d is so hideous that it’d be hard to forget him no matter how much you drank. Plus with all the stalking and driving around peering into gay mail insertions at the first word that “something is up” – well it’s no wonder they recognized him.

OMG, this is too funny for words. I want to meet some friends from Atlanta, but refuse to ride the Hound or rent a felching car to get there, so we’re going to meet in Savannah. I can get there on Amtrak.
There should be a long-distance route from Chicago to Louisville to Atlanta to JAX, but there isn’t. Go South.
Savannah’s more fun than Hotlanta anyway, unless you’re into rich chicks in nightclubs or really want Louis Farrakhan’s autograph or don’t want to go through life without being mugged in the daytime at least once.
PS: Atlanta… gridlock…b/c they built only roads… the gridlock… now they’ll cure with more roads… the gridlock…hahahahahahah, pikers
Oh wait, no transportation system anywhere can be run for a profit if it has to pay for all costs? Then GIMME GIMME GIMME!
Well, the NEC was doing okay using tax breaks and government bonds to build RR and toll roads, but then Eisenhower came up with that free Autobahn deal and that was the end of that shit.
Transportation is one of those classic problems in economics that libertardians can’t seem to grasp even the basics of. Not that we’d expect them to.
Of course, these are the same galoots who thought that deregulating utilities would be a great idea.

Yeah, but that’s my point – tax breaks and bonds are not part of the libertarian fantasy of capitalistic self-reliance. Transportation doesn’t pay for itself, but it enables everything else. A society not run by morons will therefore pay out of general funds for a balanced (road and rail) and thorough system.

Out here in REAL America, we decided that road construction and even maintenance should all be on bond levies. Guess what kind of shape our roads are in, 10 years on. If you said “awesome”, you would be glibertarian and should drink bleach. The idea of funding necessary services (like schools for fucking instance) with voter approved bonds is fucking stupid. Tax rebels didn’t pay attention to whatever amount of education they got, so why would they support anyone else’s right to a decent education?

I wouldn’t. People actually pay electric bills. Highways are funded thru dedicated taxes as well as general revenues.
Silly! Aluminum makes bad condoms!
I keep telling that husband of mine that, but nooooooooooooooooooooo!
My point was to add nuance to your point, which is to say, there were ways for the government to spur economic development without just paying out free cash to all comers, although certainly this did not build a road system as quickly as the gas tax/interstate method. Of course, the quick method had a lot of unintended consequences and since it was the quick method an immense amount of damage was done before it was stopped. (Ironically, if they had paid more attention to the German model instead of going all Mussolini on America’s cities, the IHS might not have had such a detrimental effect on the American landscape, but I digress.)
Just to pile nuance on top of nuance, IHS was paid for with tax dollars, but the maintenance ain’t, and that’s the issue we’re having today. Roman roads they’re not. (Well, there are some exceptions… go to Penna… the human race has never built anything like it on this continent before or since.)
But yeah. What you said. Free roads ain’t free… and goods don’t magically get to market w/o roads (or navigable waterways), and anyone who says otherwise is a dirty fucking liar.

I would consider utilities (gas, electric, water) to fall under this category as well
I wouldn’t. People actually pay electric bills. Highways are funded thru dedicated taxes as well as general revenues.
However you pay the bills they all fall under infrastructure. They are also best allocated with… wait for it… wait for it… CENTRAL PLANNING. To prevent wasteful duplication of services! A monopoly is chartered (or it’s just run by the gov’t) and its budget and profits are regulated.
This system worked swimmingly for fifty years or more until some fucknuts known as Reaganites tore it all down in pursuit of short-term profits.
It turns out–funny story, actually–that treating housing the same way that you treat telephones, roads, sewers, fresh water, electricity, public transit, radio, railroads, cable TV, etc, doesn’t really work out that well. This put egg on the government’s face that, well, still hasn’t been wiped off. It also turns out that leaving housing (mostly) to the free market but controlling interest rates through a central bank (a la England for about four centuries) works beautifully to create economic stability. This worked swimmingly until some fucknuts known as Greenspan and the Greedclan tore it all down in pursuit of short-term profits.
We can’t use Germany as a model for the US. For one thing: Nazis. For another: decent beer. Case closed.
It’s worth noting that the Krauts were the number three economy in the world (behind us and Japan) last time I looked. This despite quite a few economic woes of their own.
Actor, I’m thinking of the stretches in West PA in the mountains which AFAIK were built in the 60’s.
East PA is notable for having one of the first really modern toll roads. IIRC.
Penna. Tpike?
It was a model for the IHS, IIRC.
Wait, we already have Nazis and decent beer, and you don’t have to look all that hard to find either.

tigris, the difference is that in Germany it’s illegal to sell shitty beer.
Well, Shuster started in 1972. I suspect he’s the culprit.

And that’s also true! /tenacious_d_voice

Um, that’s mostly because of Bud Shuster. Google him sometime. The man has the second shortest interstate highway named after him in eastern Pennsylvania.
Central Pa, innit? I was one of Bud’s constituents for many years. He was the known as the Prince of Pork. Then John Murtha in the next district over took the title.
Fun fact: Bud often ran unopposed. Nancy Kulp (Miss Hathaway from the Beverly Hillbillies) was one of the few challengers he faced. Bud hired Buddy Ebsen to do ads calling Kulp “too liberal.”

Goddamn vurkers. We don’t need their scum!

IIRC, Kulp was the only contender to give him a serious challenge. That was 1984, right?
I thoroughly enjoyed it, which should come as a surprise to exactly no one.
Helvetica is an oddly fascinating flick. Watch it.
Do NOT give away the ending!
A few more (not very) interesting tidbits:
Eisenhower got the idea to have the IHS after seeing how useful the autobahns were in moving armaments and troops. The Pa. Turnpike served as the model for here.
What is now I-80 was originally intended to be another Pa. Turnpike.
The very last section of Interstate 80 – a.k.a. The Keystone Shortway – to be completed was in western Pennsylvania. That was in 1970, long after the rest was done.
I-80 in Pa. serves no major cities. This fact lead to this suggestion (by some wag) for a Pennsylvania slogan contest: “Pennsylvania – Gateway to Ohio”

Sounds about right.
I-80 in Pa. serves no major cities.
Makes a nice shortcut to Binghamton, tho.
And just because it doesn’t hit a major city doesn’t mean there’s no traffic. You must have tried to get to the Poconos on it a time or two!

What? The Germans have delicious sausage.

I believe you might be correct. But clearly you’ve never been to upstate New York, where the brats are thick and juicy.
Our sausages could really use some work, though.
Veiled…oh, nevermind.

Yeah, I think we’re beyond that at this point, darlin’.

Hey, that’s getting a little personal, there, missy.

Actually, I rarely stopped in the Poconos. I usually kept going to some big city east of there, the name of which escapes me at the moment.
Fun non-fact: the orange traffic cone as seen throughout the summer months on I-80 is the official symbol of Pennsylvania.
WC: Never one to let the obvious pass.
Yeah, I think we’re beyond that at this point, darlin’.
Of course, no one tells me when the rules change.

Oh, not in general. Just this particular instance.
I guess it was only a matter of time: toast on a stick.
I wouldn’t. People actually pay electric bills.
Let’s see if the million or so people who just lost their unemployment will actually pay their electric bills. These are among things that nobody needs to do without. We also don’t need the expansion of their infrastructure dependent on a black balance sheet.

Telling porkies–that’s a new one for me–hilarious.

Porkie pies. Rhyming slang, innit.
We use different fillings for pies in NZ, but it is awkward to accuse someone of telling “mechanically-recovered meat and ground-up donkeys’ arseholes”.

Awkward perhaps but much more appetizing.
My point was to add nuance to your point,
Your first mistake was assuming I’d understand nuance after being awake for more than three hours.
Actually, looking over what you’ve quoted, I’m not sure I was quite all there at that point either.
Has Palin announced her endorsement of this guy yet?
